Detailed Solution

  • The standard electrode potentials of the two given half cells, aluminium has a high tendency to formAl3+(aq) ions as compared toTl3+
  • Tl3+ is unstable in solution and it acts as a powerful oxidizing agent. Aluminium being able to form  +3 ions easily, is more electropositive than thallium.
